The concept of a laser-guided 
collider in the
single-femtosecond and high-energy regime is presented and its
feasibility discussed. Ultra-intense laser pulses and strong static
magnetic fields are employed to unite in one stage the electron and
positron acceleration and their microscopic coherent collision in
the GeV regime. We show that such coherent collisions yield a very
large enhancement of the luminosity as compared to conventional
incoherent colliders.
